Does AAA still have unlimited fastpass?

[renzdr]

If we book at the Disneyland Hotel in July through AAA will we still get the unlimited fastpass feature or did that end in 2005? I have asked 2 of the AAA travel agents in our city and none of them know what I am talking about.
Thanks!

I will let you know as much as I know on AAA, and I have just booked a package through them. This info is regarding the CA AAA branch.

1. on a Thurs coming up (I dont know which one) the are haveing a "Disneyland Day" or something of the sort. If you book your vacation with the agent on that day you get an extra perk or 2. (One of the perks is a special AAA refiliable soda mug.) I would ask your agent about this as they should know about this. Sorry I dont know more, but I booked way in advance, and just found out about this a few days ago.

2. They have the early toontown maddness thing. (Early toontown entry.) I think this is mentioned elsewhere here.

3. They supposedly still do the unlimited fastpass thing.

4. Check and re-check the numbers the AAA agent gives you. I have had them book Disney vacations for me before and forget to tell me that they ran out of avalable AAA Discount rooms, so I paid normal full price. (And yes, if I tried to cancle the normal fees applied...) They are good at what they do but they are human.

Hope that helped.

Okay... I gotta bump this up for more possible answers. Could it be true that you can get an unlimited fastpass through AAA? DO you have to book your entire trip with them, or can you get it if you just buy your park hoppers with them? Could it possibly be available through an AAA office here on the East Coast? Thanks to any and all for your help............P

I recently booked my trip through AAA and I asked about the unlimited fast pass feature since we used it last June and it was great. According to the AAA travel agent I spoke to this feature is still available as long as a you book a disneyland package and stay at a DL hotel. I hope that helps.

We have also received the vouchers for the new refillable mug program. I am looking forward to seeing how this new program works.

Less than 2 weeks before my next visit to the mouse.

I have the current brochure, and on the back cover it states in tiny letters:
"The exclusive availability of the multiple Fastpass tickets pertain only to US and Canada through AAA Vacations for travel packages that include a stay at a Disneyland Resort hotel. The multiple Fastpass ticket ticket benefit may be available elsewhere or independent of travel package purchases. Multiple Fastpass ticket benefit is available for AAA Vacations through January 19, 2006."

Since this is such a nice perk, especially during busy periods, I would have the agent verify that you are getting the exclusive multiple Fastpass tickets that are promised through the brochure. While the fine print indicates that it may be possible to get these without booking the specific package, I think it's highly unlikely you'll get them without booking a package that incudes at least the DL, GC, or PP hotel and the passes with them. You shouldn't need to book transportation through them.

This Perk Is One Of The Few Reasons Why I Booked Thru Aaa. My Famly Will Be There From August 1 - 4 (our First And Probably Only Trip To Disneyland). I Figure This Will Be A Very Busy Time, So Any Help I Can Get ~ Getting On A Ride ~ I Will Take! I Sure Hope It Works Well!

How does this work? Do you get special admission passes that are coded so that the Fastpass machines know this?

I think it is coded on your actual ticket. When we went last summer, we used this feature and our tickets didn't look any different than anyone else's.
